They have metrics that track fan sentiment and super bowl odds right now are based more on trying to get sucker money to come in based on emotion. When they set the team win totals is when you know Vegas's true feelings about a team, this is all about playing to a narrative of a "good" off season and general media sentiment about teams.

He actually said they got a lot of money to come in on Cleveland even though he actually believes Cleveland has no chance of winning.

Nope, didn't see the interview, but this is what I assumed. Cincy has never had the "best" of fans, but boy this off-season has been really bitter between FO & fans. The one beef I have with this is they made us WORSE by 30% after FA (the one time in IDK how long we actually got better after FA)....Had he gave us same/similar odds (because of fan sentiment) back in Feb as he did now, I wouldn't have that big of a problem with it
